On December 15, 2022, it was a foggy day in Korea. While visibility was low that day, Lim Ji Yeon was still able to see the man in front of her, Lee Do Hyun. The two enjoyed the snowy, foggy day at Lee Do Hyun’s apartment in the Geumho district of Seoul. They made a snowman together and took pictures with their snowman. They also put a mini-snowman on top of Lee Do Hyun’s car.
The next day, they visited the Yongin Nature Recreation Forest together and Lee Do Hyun brought coffee for the two of them.
Lee Do Hyun and Lim Ji Yeon started getting interested in each other during their time working on The Glory. There were numerous scenes where both actors were in the same shot. By the end of filming for The Glory, the two became very close. Dispatch believes that the two became very close with each other starting with a workshop for The Glory that was held in the summer of 2022.
The relationship between Lim Ji Yeon and Lee Do Hyun was an open secret amongst the actors and staff working on The Glory.

The team for The Glory had great teamwork, the best I have seen. The actors would often go out to eat together. I think they got to know each other through the dinners and it developed into a relationship.

In January 2023, Lee Do Hyun was busy filming for both the K-Drama Bad Mother and movie Graveyard at the same time. Despite his busy schedule, he made sure to attend the team dinner for The Glory. Dispatch was able to witness the team dinner that was held. Attendees included writer Kim Eun Sook, Song Hye Kyo, Yeom Hye Ran, Jung Sung Il, Kim Hieora, Park Sung Hoon, Cha Joo Young, Kim Geon Woo, and more.
After a second round of drinks, Lee Do Hyun was picked up by Lim Ji Yeon’s manager, who took Lee Do Hyun to Lim Ji Yeon’s home in Lim Ji Yeon’s company car. The couple then continued to talk through the night.
On March 14, which is known as White Day in Korea where traditionally, a male gifts a female, the two enjoyed a chocolate date in the Geumho district of Seoul, just four days after the premiere of part two of The Glory.
Both Lim Ji Yeon’s agency Artist Company and Lee Do Hyun’s agency Yuehua Entertainment have stated they are looking into Dispatch’s report.
